Ireland Family
This section of the website hold details of the Ireland families of Middleton Teesdale, Bowes and Skeeby as well as descendants who emigrated to Halton County, Canada.
The connection to the Earle family is through the marriage of John Ireland to Jane Earl in Richmond 1907. It is thought that John and Jane had a child together a year before they married, Bryan Earl. The census records for 1911 show that as a child Bryan lived with the Ireland surname, but after a hastily arranged marriage reverted to his mothers maiden name - the name recorded on his birth certificate. Married as an Earl, the surname passed on to Bryan's descendants including the author of this website.
